Severus wanted to know where Lola was and curiosity got the better of him, he saw a group of Slytherin students and approached Draco Malfoy. "A word Mr Malfoy" he drawled ushering him away from his minions. "Have you seen Lola Scott today? and if so when?" He asked
"Yeah, I saw that filthy Slut earlier, early afternoon. Why?" The boy quizzed
"Do not use that word again Mr Malfoy!" Snape snapped at the boy
"I will call her what I want! I had a row with her earlier and she went into total psycho mode!" He tried to explain
Snape turned on his heels and left, heading towards his classroom he went to pour himself a fire whiskey as he was annoyed by Malfoy calling Lola that 'word'

He got to the cabinet where he kept his whiskey and it was gone. 'What the hell?' He scowled angrily, he wondered for a moment if he had finished the bottle. He was sure he only stocked up yesterday... Finally he gave up and headed back to his desk. He found a note on top of it
He opened it and read it

****************
Snapester! Proffy! Dungeon Dawg! P Master!

I won't be attending detention tonight, or any other night because sadly, I am otherwise engaged washing my hair and generally not giving a shit
I thought I would be professional and give it to you in writing!

Yours hatefully
The insolent brat you think I am

'Is she bloody drunk?" He groaned to himself and then it clicked, 'she IS drunk because SHE stole my whiskey!' He was fuming but also rather worried. He wished he could keep his emotions in check, 'seems she has the same problem' he sighed
He marched out of his chambers on a mission to find her skulking along the corridors, his robes billowing behind him as he went
He knew she would be outside somewhere singing as usual, or possibly on this occasion slurring like a drunk at the three broomsticks on karaoke night

He went to the black lake but she wasn't there, he was becoming more worried as he searched for her. He looked round the castle walls but had no luck. He sighed and decided to check the Slytherin dormitory. He walked back up to the castle entrance and paused 'the astronomy tower' he thought and turned back around again and ran into the night
And he was correct he snuck up and stood concealed by the darkness of the doorway
She held his bottle of whiskey in her hand proudly, and was signing away slumped on the floor
The words bounced off her tongue naturally, her voice a silky caramel he wished to devour

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Living in a broken home alone
16 weeks since you've been gone
As time goes by there's no pieces left
No memories of you & me

To shut out feeling lonely; I get out of my head
Lost everything around me
Not dealing with it well
To shut out feeling lonely; I get out of my head
Why would you want to love somebody when love hurts in the end?

Free to see the world now as my own
Sleep with any woman that I want
But anytime anyone gets close
Breaks through my mind, what I have lost

To shut out feeling lonely; I get out of my head
Lost everything around me
Not dealing with it well
To shut out feeling lonely; I get out of my head
Why would you want to love somebody when love hurts in the end?

You called to say you're missing me, but never ask how I feel
I'm beaten, I'm broke
I'm out of my mind, but learning to get on by fine

To shut out being lonely; I get out of my head
Lost everything around me
Not dealing with it well
To shut out being lonely; I get out of my head
Why would you want to love somebody when love hurts in the end?

"Miss Scott" he said calmly walking out from the shadows
She turned to look at him, but remained silent
"Lola... Can we talk?" He asked gently
